T he damage lef t high voltage lines draped over a Main Street home and across both the exit and entrance ramps for Ohio 79 and the roadway itself. Ohio 79 was closed at U.S. 40 for nearly 48 hours while workers replaced the damaged poles and restrung the power lines. Lakewood cancelled school Monday and some customers lost power for 12-24 hours
